The Pinnacle Of Madness...

search YouTube for

This is a REMIX of the Gwen Stefani video of "Wind It Up"

as they say "with additional music from the Sound of Music"

well... that's an understatement...

The big addition is the PUPPETS!

El bizarro!


However... it seems that playing this video crashes my firefox.
Don't know why... very irritating.

p.s.

If you find YODELING to be so awful you will leave the room,
don't watch this!

Some others of Steve Martin doing magic are also on YouTube.

Dreams, Freud, and the Anti-Freud

All of us Dream Journalers will find this of interest...

The Believer - Hobson's Choice:


In the early '70s, while planting microelectrodes on the brain stems of cats, he formed his widely cited Activation-Synthesis theory and broadened its implications, perhaps unduly, to disprove Freud's claim that dreams are caused by unconscious, often sinister desires. He and his Harvard colleague Robert McCarley proposed that dreams are strange and fragmented not because secret urges are being censored, as Freud claimed, but because the brain is in a naturally chaotic state.

I'm cataloging dream journals I've kept for more than 15 years.  They are proving to be great fodder for the writing of fiction;  more about that later.

Greet the Day

From 10 benefits of rising early and how to do it:

Greet the day. I love being able to get up, and greet a wonderful new day. I suggest creating a morning ritual that includes saying thanks for your blessings. I'm inspired by the Dalai Lama, who said, " Everyday, think as you wake up, 'today I am fortunate to have woken up, I am alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others, to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings, I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others, I am going to benefit others as much as I can.' "

reformatted because I can do that....

> the Dalai Lama, > says..

>

> today I am fortunate to have woken up,
> I am alive,
> I have a precious human life,
> I am not going to waste it.
> I am going to use all my energies
>> to develop myself,
>> to expand my heart out to others,
>> to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings,
> I am going to have kind thoughts towards others,
> I am not going to get angry or think badly about others,
> I am going to benefit others as much as I can.
It's pretty hard not to like the Dalai Lama

There's a pretty good argument that the US is going to Hell.
